Naomi called Tyler at night, and he came over around 7 pm. The whole trip to the hospital, Tyler looked troubled and kept gazing out of the car window, allowing the breeze to blow on him.
“Don’t worry too much about the NT scan results. Lots of times, everything turns out fine after the more detailed amniocentesis test. Plus, problems usually happen to older moms, and Olivia is young. It’s probably nothing.”
Tyler was trying not to worry too much, but he couldn’t help it. He merely gave a short. response to that.
After a while, he said, “First, we need to help Olivia not to stress too much.”
Linda was also worried because Olivia had been trying so hard to keep her baby safe, and it was taking a toll on her mental health. Stress could lead to a miscarriage, which was the last thing they wanted.

Naomi.‘
Tyler noticed his guilty look but didn’t call him out. “Let’s decide after you’ve talked to her.”
Darren felt like a bad father and quickly asked, “How’s she doing?”
“She did an NT scan recently, but the results are not good. She’s doing amniocentesis in a few days.”
